A/N: There will be a bit of ItaSaku fluff. Not to much though. Maybe a tad bit OOC for Itachi but Itachi shows more emotion than Sasuke so...yeah.


Cause nothing's going right

And everything's a mess

And no one likes to be

alone

--

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

But I

Im with you

Im with you


"Where…where am I?" asked Sakura as she woke up. She saw she was in a room. There were no windows and one door.

"You are with us cherry blossom." said a voice. Sakura looked around. She saw a man. He was wearing a cloak with red clouds on it. He had a bunch of piercing. She gaped.

"You-you're the leader! Of the Akatsuki!" she said. She clawed at her face. "Omigod I must be dreaming. Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi will…" she trailed off as her memories flooded back. "They…they left me didn't they?" she asked Pein. He nodded. "Oh…"

"*chuckle* don't worry. We will train you if you want us too…" he said. "Or…we could kill you…" he grinned evilly. Sakura stared.

"Well, I think that last option decided for me! I'll train with you…"she said. Pein smiled.

"Good. You will be trained with Itachi then-" Sakura cut him off.

"Woah! I thought Sasuke…" Sakura stared. "He didn't kill Itachi did he?" she asked.

"Nope." Pein popped the 'p'. "The foolish boy forgot to make SURE he was dead"

"Oh" Sakura said. "Well….I WANT TO START TRAINING!" she yelled. Pein stared. 'Note to self-NEVER piss her off!'

"Uh…ok?" he said. I'll bring you to Itachi." Pein started to walk towards the door. Sakura stared. "Well? Are you coming?" he asked without turning around. Sakura jumped.

"Coming!" she said, then hurried after him.

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"NO!" yelled Itachi. He was starting to get annoyed with Sakura. He was trying to teach her his clans jutsu's.

Each of the Akatsuki members had to teach Sakura their style of fighting. That way she would know each of the elements. They still had to see which element she was. For example… (A/N: I have no idea what element they are. I'm just guessing by the way they work)

Kisame: Element-Water. Fighting Style- Using his sword

Itachi: Element-Fire. Fighting Style-Using his Sharingan.

Deidara: Element- Earth. Fighting Style- Using bombs

These are only a few. (A/N: That I could figure out)

"It's Rat, Tiger, Dog, Ox, Rabbit, Tiger!! Okay!" Itachi said frustrated. Sakura was trying to get the signals right for Katon, Housenka no Jutsu (1). She kept messing up.

"Its hard!" she cried out.

"No its not!" Itachi yelled back. "Can't you do anything right?!" he yelled again. Sakura's eyes began to tear up. Itachi stared.

"Oh no…please don't cry Sakura…"he said quietly. Sakura didn't hear him. She ran from the training field crying. Itachi grabbed his hair.

"Why must bad things always happen to me?" he asked himself before running after Sakura.

OXOXOXOXOXO

"sob…sob….I am WEAK! Can't I ever get strong, Kami-sama!?" Sakura yelled as she plopped herself on the ground a few miles away from the hideout. She sighed. "I'm alone. Nobody is ever going to look for me. Not even the Akatsuki. That's how worthless I am." Sakura growled. "DAMMIT! WHY CANT I BE STRONG!"

"…you're strong…in way. We…just have to practice more…." said a voice. Sakura whipped around.

"What do you want Itachi?" she hissed. "I don't want you here right now." Itachi looked at her then sat down.

"I know that. But you seem to be beating yourself up." he stated. "that's not good."

"No shit Sherlock!" Sakura said. "Now…leave…"

"No. I told Leader-sama I would train you and that's what I'll do." he said. "we'll start anew, tomorrow."

Sakura hadn't noticed how dark it was. Sakura snorted.

"Ha! See the only reason you're training me is because he told you right?! That proves no-one likes me here. I'm alone." Sakura said quietly. "I'm always alone. Always watching my teammates back….me in the background…it was always 'Uchiha this' and 'Kyuubi that', nobody ever noticed me." Tears started dripping down her face slowly.

"…it's a damn cold night and I'm alone….trying to figure out what I'm to do in this life…" she said softly. "

Itachi sighed. He was not good with emotional women. " You're not alone…." he sighed again. Then he looked at the stars that started to appear. "…I'm with you…" he said softly.

Sakura looked at him. 'Who knew evil Uchiha could be so…caring?' she thought. 'So what!?' yelled Inner Sakura. 'That makes him all the more hotter!'

"…alright…"agreed Sakura. Itachi stood up. Sakura hadn't moved but was staring at him.

"…what?" he asked irritably. Sakura smirked.

"Aren't you supposed to be a gentleman? Now help me up!" she ordered. Itachi sighed but did so anyway.

"…you know…chivalry is dead…" he stated as he started walking back to the HQ. Sakura stared at him. Did the great Uchiha just…make a joke or something?

"Hurry up!" his voice knocked her out of her dreaming.

"Now…tomorrow we will work on your stamina. You will exercise and we will see what your strong points are. I have heard you are good with genjutsu and I will help you with that with my Sharingan. You also have good chakra control and immense strength. We will also help you with your jutsu's although someone beside me will help you with that. And your taijutsu needs help too so…" his speech was ignored as Sakura started thinking about Konoha. And how Itachi spoke so much more than Sasuke but…

'Will we ever go back Inner?' she asked.

'I don't know. But if we do…

They will regret ever taking us for granted! Shannaro!'


A/N: Well…this was short….oh well. I guess I'll have to work on that. So there was a tad bit of ItaSaku. Not much though. Anyone have any ideas for future chapters?

(1) Fire Element- Phoenix Flower Jutsu

At least im pretty sure…I'm not all that good with researching the hand signals and the Japanese names, and yadda yadda. Also...im a story machine! I've thought of 2 new stories. Yah for me! :D ^-^
